A reunion for Oleg Evdokimov
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Dinamo Minsk in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The Sergey Pushnyakov question follows Neman around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Sergey Pushnyakov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
In brief
